Crazy Halloween House

Some of you may have seen photos from our visit to the crazy Christmas house last year. Well, tonight we went to the same house, to see their Halloween decorations. We were not expecting it to be nearly as extensive as Christmas was, but wow - it was. It's really hard to capture in photos, but this guy has his entire yard, driveway and roof covered in inflatable decorations. There are probably about 50 of them at least. He has a pathway leading through his front yard, lined in all kinds of spooky decorations. There's things hanging from the trees, smoke machines - anything you can think of.

Here's a look down their front porch which is lined with life size scary people. They also have a bay window displaying the entire Halloween Village collection.

A look at the path in on the front lawn. Happy Halloween!

A bathroom update

I took a few photos tonight of the progress in our master bathroom. They're not the greatest photos, but I'm too tired to go back upstairs and retake them, so here they are...

Pretty much everything is in, except the baseboards and the shower. The toilet and the sink are both working.

The new travertine floor that Sam put in is beautiful.

Here's where the shower will be eventually. We need to try and finish it before next month, because I think one shower for the 12+ people who will be staying here over Thanksgiving isn't going to cut it!

A fun visit

We had a fun visit the last couple of days from my friend Lisa and her children Emily (6) and Jace (4). They live in North Carolina, where her husband Alex is in the Army. He's in the middle of a long deployment to Iraq, but was home for a quick business trip which ended in DC. Lisa and the kids drove up to see him off, and then spent two nights at our house. Kevin had a BLAST playing with Emily and Jace. Here's a couple shots of the three of them...
